Korina Maria Sanchez-Roxas (born 5 October 1964) is a British-born Filipina broadcast journalist, television news anchor, senior field correspondent, magazine show host, radio anchor and newspaper columnist. She is currently Chief Correspondent for the Integrated News and Current Affairs Division of ABS-CBN ABS-CBN Corporation airing on TV Channel 2, AM Radio DZMM and cable TV ABS-CBN News Channel. She also has regular column in The Philippine STAR entitled "That Does It", as well as a Tagalog column entitled "K Ka Lang" in its sister newspaper, Pilipino Star Ngayon.

Korina attended St. Theresa's College in Quezon City for her elementary and secondary education, and then Maryknoll College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Communication Arts. Her first love was writing, but she was also active in extra-curriculars like singing, theater, public speaking, and high school varsity volleyball. In college, Korina excelled in courses related to creative writing, thesis writing and speech. Already working at the time, she was a two-time awardee for scholarship of the United States Embassy's Thomas Jefferson study grant for Investigative Journalism which brought her to several colleges and universities in the U.S. for post graduate short courses. She completed a third-level French language course at the Makati-based Alliance Francaise de Manille. Sanchez had inclinations towards the performing arts but believed her "calling had always been in the field of information and communication" and maintains that, before being an on-camera personality, she is "first, a writer".[4] She is the wife of Mar Roxas , the former Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government.

In January 2012, Sanchez also returned to AM talk radio. 'Rated Korina,' a news magazine talk show anchored solo by Sanchez, and now airs daily Mondays thru Fridays at 10am to 11 am over radio DZMM. She occasionally does an television interview show, Up Close and Personal, for ANC (the ABS-CBN News Channel). She has so far done special episodes of this show --- on the resurgence of Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar, an interview with American celebrity financial adviser SuzeOrman and one with Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago.

Controversies

In 2013, Korina Sanchez gained notoriety among netizens due her remarks on her now defunct DZMM radio show 'Rated Korina’ on Anderson Cooper's Report. She claims that the reporter does not know what he's talking about.[5][6][7][8] CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper was one of international correspondents on the ground in Tacloban to report on the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. Cooper responded to Sanchez by urging her to visit the area and insisted that his coverage were accurate.[9][10]

On the Wednesday, December 3, 2014, newscast of ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol, the network's chief correspondent and veteran anchor said she hoped Typhoon Ruby (international name Hagupit) would hit Japan instead of the Philippines: "Can’t they just get all of it?" [11]

Six weeks after this incident Korina Sanchez resigned from her Radio show.[12]

Personal life

Sanchez is married to Mar Roxas, whom she married on 27 October 2009 in Quezon City.[13]

The Medical Malpractice Bill

Was renamed Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Bill. The bill gathered considerable support in the Senate but later met opposition from a hostile senator. In the lower house, where many members of the Health Committee were themselves doctors, the bill did not budge despite lengthy discussions and media attention to the cause. Later, the Philippine Medical Association and Sanchez's group resumed talks for a more amicable Memorandum of Agreement in the face of a once-again lethargic Congress. The final draft of this Memorandum Of Agreement that is intended to bind all medical practitioners to conformity to a higher standard of accountability to patients has yet to be drafted and signed.

Other advocacies Sanchez had become involved with are population control, breast cancer-awareness and justice for crime. She has received awards and recognition for her efforts promoting vigilance on these three issues. Sanchez has also been consistently vocal for pollution control, and coral and marine life preservation. She is a deep-sea diver.

People's Health Watch

In her role as media practitioner, one of Sanchez' well-known advocacies is her effort for the legislation of a law promoting Patients' Rights and Responsibilities and against medical negligence. Her mother, Celia Sanchez, is known to be a victim of misdiagnosis in a well-known Philippine hospital. Sanchez was able to get her mother cured of stage 2 colon cancer in New York's Cornell Hospital (misdiagnosed as stage 4 terminal in the Philippines).

Her mother was alive and well for another two years. Celia Sanchez succumbed to severe infection after a simple surgical procedure in another Manila hospital. Sanchez was quoted as having believed her mother died because of, again, medical negligence by another doctor, practicing in the Philippines. While Sanchez never banner her own parent's case publicly or in any of her media platforms, she spearheaded the Manila-chapter of the non-governmental organization, People's Health Watch, to move the Medical Malpractice Bill in Congress.

The bill had been shelved and sleeping for more than a decade. Sanchez suffered the ire of medical practitioners and doctors' organizations nationwide. She appeared in Congress, attended hearings and discussions on the bill. After numerous debates and discussion Sanchez’ group agreed to a version of the original bill that is more acceptable to the doctors.

At the time, the bill had been shelved and sleeping for more than a decade. Sanchez' group documented thousands of cases from all over the Philippines proving incidents of malpractice by doctors. Sanchez suffered the ire of medical practitioners and doctors' organizations nationwide. Sanchez' efforts and representation through the poltiical lobby group Publicus helped move discussion in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Presidential Campaign 2016

To gain support from the LGBT community for the 2016 presidential elections, Korina Sanchez organized #KERIBEKS: The First National Gay Congress of The Philippines,[14] which was a star studded concert held at the [Araneta Coliseum] which featured job fairs but did not deal with LGBT issues nor did Mar Roxas vocalized support for the LGBT owned by the family of Mar Roxas.[15]

Lingkod Patrol

As anchor of TVPatrol between 2001 to 2004 Sanchez spearheaded the public service arm of the daily primetime newscast of ABS CBN. Through her team's advocacy, television and radio reports and personal solicitations lives of,mostly, children were saved and improved.

Handog Tsinelas Campaign

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In 2004, when the program Rated K began its weekly broadcast, Sanchez aired a public service segment in the show which was later to become a regular, nationwide project and household word. Sanchez began with one project for school children in Samar, Leyte and thought of bringing "smagol", the local term in the Visayas for rubber slippers (poor folk have come to know rubber slippers as 'smuggled from China', hence, the term "smagol"). It was a basic need of the poor especially children who either walk barefoot or wear tattered rubber slippers which are hardly wearable and kept together with straws. Immediately, Sanchez identified rubber slippers or 'tsinelas[16]' as a basic need of the poor, especially the children. Since then, Sanchez has given away more than a million pairs of slippers[17] in most provinces and cities in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao through the ABS CBN show Rated K. Her current project, "Isang Milyong Tsinelas",[18] was launched in January this year, 2013, aiming to solicit one million[19] pairs of rubber slippers in one year to give away to the poor nationwide.[20]
